training scenarios with most types of<br />
weapon systems including precision tactical<br />
rifles. 300 yards and out is the more<br />
indicative test of a precision tactical rifle.<br />
The Federal 168 grain Match and BHA<br />
168 grain Match loads performing the<br />
best again. Another note of interest was<br />
how easy the Tremor 2 reticle inside the<br />
Schmidt & Bender made hitting targets<br />
at the 300 yard pit. A 100 yard zero easily<br />
translated into holding the first Mil-hash<br />
below the main horizontal wire directly<br />
on target causing hits at 300 yards. The<br />
benefit is obvious of holding directly on<br />
target versus an estimated hold over. Also,<br />
the Tremor 2 reticle is a great tool for<br />
range estimation and target engagement.<br />
The Tremor 2 offers more than a strictly<br />
Mil Dot pattern reticle. The Tremor 2 features<br />
various sized and spaced hash marks<br />
on the vertical and horizontal stadia for<br />
increased ranging precision, accuracy, and<br />
quick range estimating reference points.<br />
With the GII SASS proving it was more<br />
than capable of connecting with TacStrike<br />
steel targets arrayed along Echo Valley<br />
Training Center’s stepped berm out to 300<br />
yards, it was decided to try something out<br />
of the norm by working with the GII SASS<br />
inside EVTC’s 360 range. It was a simple<br />
matter of keeping the S&B optic in place<br />
and mount a Meopta MeoSight red dot via<br />
a Weaver 45 degree offset mount bracket.<br />
This allows a quick rotation of the rifle in<br />
the shoulder pocket a few degrees accessing<br />
the red dot optic with minimal effort<br />
or disturbance of handling. This made the<br />
GII SASS much more efficient at engaging<br />
targets at close distances. Drills started<br />
